I am not an English speaker. I read both verbs for the first time in a
mid-80s MS/DOS program called PC-Tools (Central Point Software). It was
the first MS/DOS program that was able to move a complete directory from
one path to another and it called that "pruning" and "grafting". Since
then, many people I have read use "graft" as the opposite of "prune". In
computing I thought that was the usual procedure. ( I also read the word
"hardware" for the first time related with computers so my English
perception may be a little focused ;-) )
